    Recommend a good football game

    As the title says. I'm looking for a good football game for the PS2. I'll even take suggestions for the PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn or even Genesis. More specifically, is there anything out there that captures the charm of Tecmo Super Bowl? :)

    Thinking about Moxie

    Moxie, a soda that is only designated as such because it isn't toxic enough to be called anything else. Moxie, the lone monster to emerge from the New England wastelands. Moxie, the drink that your high school science teacher drinks, for no apparent reason. The current title of the off topic...

    XP for Traps?

    My players have recently entered the first decent-sized dungeon crawl of the campaign and something occurred to me: do you, or do you not dole out XP for encountering traps? My gut reaction is no because... 1: Traps are generally only going to be encountered and dealt with by the party...

    Doing away with stat boosting items

    I just posted this up on my game's campaign forum. I'm curious what others think. The PC's in my game are starting to grow up. They're all level 4, they've gotten their first stat boost not long ago and are starting to pick up a few magic items. I've been doing some thinking and have decided...

    Lobster Fascination*

    I live in New England (maybe 30 miles from the coast) and thereby I tend to be a bit of a snob when it comes to seafood. I enjoy salmon, swordfish and that old standard of fish and chips. Clams are good fried or stuffed, as are shrimp and I do enjoy crab cakes. But I don't like lobster. I've...

    I just got an Email from Enworld wishing me a happy birthday. I barely even remembered it myself. :) Here's to being 27!

    New PrC: The War Chef

    Inspired by the War Spatula. :) Not every cook is in an army, but every army needs feeding and the best armies employ the best cooks. The War Chef is the pinnacle of the soldier/cook, able to keep their troops fed and healthy and able to hold their own in combat. Many War Chefs are human...

    Exotic weapon for BBQ enthusiasts

    Inspired by a real life barbacue spatula I saw once; an enormous, nasty thing with a serrated edge and not something I could picture anyone actually using one-handed. War Spatula 2 handed Exotic slashing weapon Damage : 1d8 Critical: X4 30 gp Favored by savage French chefs and cannibal...

    Odd but legal?

    Something stupid I thought of while visiting the little boys room. Lets say you have a 1st level character with Two-Weapon Fighting. This character currently only has one weapon, a dagger. Moving an item from one hand to the other is a free action, correct? So could this character attack with...

    28 Weeks Later [spoilers aplenty]

    28 Weeks Later Lots of spoilers below! I posted most of this in my LJ last night after Merkuri and I got back from watching this movie. Has anyone else seen it? It's not the worst film in the world but waht really kills it for me is we as viewers have to assume a heroic level of incompetence...

    The Galifar Code of Justice

    Two questions here. 1: Does anyone know if theres an official (or good unofficial) write up for the Galifar Code of Justice in the Eberron setting? 2: Is there anyone in here running an Eberron campaign who is using or has used The King's Citadel? The Citadel are portrayed as the elite special...

    Those of you who are familiar with MST3K...

    To make a short story long, I was on IMDB last night and stumbled upon this while looking up MST3K's Kevin Murphy. Funny LoTR spoof Looks like they never got around to finishing it, which is a shame. Ah well, it is more good, fun stuff by the MSTie's.

    Knowledge:Local... What is meant by Local?

    At the start of my Eberron campaign I gave every PC a point in Knowledge:Local that applies to their town/place of origin. I feel that there aren't any guidelines as to what is meant by the term "local" though. I've been thinking along three lines... 1: Knowledge:Local applies specifically to...

    Railroading... but not really

    Only two sessions into our new Eberron game and I've already had my players fight atop the lightning rail. Now I'm curious; how many of you that are DM'ing an Eberron campaign have had a rail-top battle? From previous posts on this site, it sounds like you can't sneeze without hitting someone...

    PHB2 Errata and the knight class

    Does anyone know if theres any official PHB2 errata out? I noticed that the knight is written as having a poor fortitude save and thought that was peculiar for a melee oriented class. Was that intended or was it a mistake?

    Fighting "Mr. T"

    "The tarrasque. Forbidding, aloof, terrifying. The monster with the biggest **** in the world." Looks like our Worlds Largest Dungeon group will be winding things up in the next few weeks. We'll be going up against the tarrasque before the end and I'm curious what other folks have to say about...

    What does the fighter need...

    ...if anything at all? I've been debating this with a member of my upcoming Eberron campaign and while it seems we agree that the fighter could use a nudge, I don't think we agree on why, what the nudge should be or how powerful it should be. Personally, I'm of the opinion that the fighter is...

    How much should the players know?

    It looks like I'll be DM'ing a game in Eberron after our WLD group is over and I got to thinking; should you let your players know what beasties they're likely to encounter? On the one hand you might not want to give too much away. On the other hand, you don't want to gimp a ranger by not...
